A Tribute to Dr. S.S.Purohit, By Hon. Chief Editor-READERS SHELF

In this write up I would like to share my experience with a great man, a legend, an expert of his field, a man with international recognition and a man who has done exceptionally well in his life time. Yes I am talking about a great botanist Dr. Shyam Sunder Purohit who is known in the publication line as Dr. S.S.Purohit, among his colleagues and friends as Shyamu and among college friends as Purohit or Purohit Sb.
Dr. Purohit does not need any introduction if we talk about the Botanist or the horticulturists or plant physiologists or person from Agriculture Field. The scientists contemporary to him know Dr. Purohit and his contribution very well. His introduction is also not needed for the academicians and authors who were associated with him as authors of the books or authors of articles be it research or popular article. However, for me it is not possible to proceed further without giving introduction of star which has gone for heavenly abode on 15th of May 2023, the day which has taken, Dr.Purohit, away from his near and dears. He has left all of us leaving one son and two daughters and their families in grief.
Dr. S.S.Purohit was M.Sc. Gold Medallist from Udaipur University and served as Lecturer in various Government colleges in Rajasthan. He took the voluntary retirement from Government Service when he was working as Vice Principal of Dungar College Bikaner in the year 2000 much before his actual date of retirement which was in 2008. This in itself is evident that he was a man of great confidence and will power. One of his colleagues, who is known to me too, used to say “there are thousands of lecturers in India but (to his knowledge) only Dr. S.S.Purohit is there who has established a great empire in publishing field and got recognition internationally”.
I used to share this version of his friend with him and used to ask about what has encouraged him to be a publisher and not the author like other lecturers and academicians. To my surprise I got a very simple and straight reply that his zeel and need were two factors which resulted into him being a publisher. He shared his own experience with me and today I want to share the same with all the readers.
Story Behind Becoming a Publisher
The following story was narrated by Dr. S.S.Purohit to the editor: He said that a book was authored by him which was typed and formatted by himself on a simple Re*****on typewriter. After completing the manuscript he went to Delhi to the offices of some publishers and showed his manuscript. Every publisher used to tell him to leave the manuscript and they would let him know. As it was his original and maiden work so he was not interested in leaving the manuscript with them. He had the fear, in his mind, of copying and stealing of the matter. He stayed in Delhi for few days for this purpose. One fine morning he went to a big publishing house and took the appointment to meet the owner. He got the appointment and met with owner. The Gentleman was not very enthusiastic but asked him (Dr. Purohit) the purpose of meeting. Dr. Purohit, as he was a very straight forward and simple man, gave his manuscript immediately and requested the gentleman to arrange for publication. The Gentleman, as stated, was not very passionate and excited. He wanted to get rid of Dr Purohit so he just looked at the manuscript and said “ Look Mr. I receive number of such requests on daily basis and so many persons like you come to me for this I cannot help you in the matter.” Dr. Purohit requested him repeatedly, as the publisher was a renowned one. But his requests did not affect the gentleman who ultimately told him to leave his office and talk to some other publisher. Dr. Purohit, as he narrated, requested once again which angered the gentleman and he literally told him to immediately leave the office. Dr. Purohit had no option except to come out of his office. As per Dr. Purohit this was turning point of his life and he decided that he himself would publish the book. He was confident that the book once come into the market will be accepted by the students and teachers immediately. He came back to Bikaner, where he was posted, and started his first business setup in the name of Agro Botanica. The book was published by the new publisher and marketed. It received a great response from the readers’ community and the new publishing house came into existence at Bikaner in Rajasthan.
The journey as an author cm publisher began and Dr. Purohit did not see back thereafter. He had the passion of reading and writing only and started writing books. To the surprise of the readers there are more than 120 titles in his name in addition to numerous articles in National and International Journals.
He was recipient of award for best Scientific Hindi Writing from Lucknow Hindi Granth Acadamy and the award was given by the then Honourable CM of Uttar Pradesh Shri V.P.Singh.
Agro Bios India
A name well known to almost all the Universities, Agriculture Institutes, Agriculture Colleges, KVKs, and Agriculture and Horticulture Departments of both the state and the Central Government is brain child of Dr. Purohit and was founded by him after he took the Voluntary Retirement in the year 2000. The owner of this publishing house is Mr. Updesh Purohit, Dr. Purohit’s son, and till his last day he (Dr.Purohit) worked as Director of the organisation. This publishing house is known for the ethics and the principles. Agro Bios India is one of the best publishers in India with more than 1000 titles to its credit. Almost in all universities and colleges of India books of Agro Bios are in demand or are in syllabus. Not only in India but the books are in syllabus out of country too in Asian and European countries.
The whole Readers Shelf family prays God to give courage to all family members to bear this loss. What I can express, at the most, is that he had a profound impact on my life and he will be greatly missed. He may be gone but will always be there in my heart, I believe.
